If the Canaanites actually moved from the towns into the hill country villages, would they have abandoned the worship of the divinities to which they had been attached when they lived in their cities? This seems unlikely. In fact, they might be expected to redouble their devotions as they faced the uncertainties of a new way of life. Furthermore, if the people had come from more than one town, with each town having its own patron deity, it is hard to suppose that a new faith would have been accepted almost universally in those villages and at the same time. The cessation of worship at the Late Bronze Age sites, the absence of clear cultic installations in the hill villages, and the rise of the worship of the God of Israel may be pointers to the entry into Canaan of large numbers of a new population, the Israelites.
